I'm Allen Johnson. I am a veteran full stack developer and front end engineer based in Denver, Colorado.

I am most comfortable with JavaScript / TypeScript, React, HTML, and CSS in various environments, including Next.js, Node.js, PHP, Java, and Ruby on Rails.

I recently spent a year contracting with a team at Etsy to facilitate server-side rendering of React component islands, able to communicate using a shared Redux store. This helped product engineers to provide enhanced user experiences for Etsy customers, while still maintaining fast page load times, through on-demand hydration of static content with interactive features.

In the time since Etsy, I have focused mostly on my own business, WebEquate. I have built new websites and re-built my existing portfolio of websites using Next.js, React, TypeScript, MongoDB, Tailwind CSS, and Vercel, to modernize my development workflow, streamline site updates, and improve site performance.

I am currently seeking a new opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and collaborative team or to an interesting project or initiative, with a preference for mostly remote work.

I also enjoy travel, hiking, photography, electronic music, generative AI, and foreign languages.
